I wear a thong for yoga. They are comfortable because they don't bunch up when you bend. I see women who aren't wearing thongs and their underpantspants bunch up and they end up with vpl and it looks like they have four buttcheeks. To me, that isn't comfortable and isn't conducive to athletic activity.

Amanda's problem is she can't get sex out of her mind when she thinks about women wearing thongs. She assumes women don't have the brains to think for themselves about their own comfort.

MadAsHell- it isn't a publicity stunt. There are lots of brands of yoga pants that are too sheer, and lots of women wearing them. Lululemon got to be a successful brand specifically because their pants weren't too sheer, and there is a huge market for that.

Marcotte and other militant feminists seem to presume choices other than theirs are driven by a need to appeal to men, usually expressed in the most demeaning way possible. You'd think those lecturing women not to be so judgemental about women's choices wouldn't do this. But it seems a universal rule of poltical activism that one's standards must never be applied to oneself.

I've heard several women claim thongs are more comfortable than alternatives including from my sister who formerly mocked them as butt floss. I'm pretty sure she wasn't lying as an act of flirtation, some women really do find them confortable. It's revealing that Marcotte rants about people criticizing sexual activities but feels perfectly comfotable mocking underwear selection. Do we get to mock her as a puritan sexophobe?
